To all whomt may sensem:

Be it known that I, FRANK RnYNoLDs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Winston, in the county of Broadwater and State of Montana,have invented new and useful Improvements in Pails, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention' relates to milk pails and' articularly to strainerstherefor, the ob- ]ect of the invention is to provide means wherebyelements of different straining qualities can be readily associated Withthe pail as the occasion may demand.

In the drawing orming a portion 'of this application and in which likeletters of reference indicate similar parts in the several viewsz-Figure1 is, a side view of amilk pail 'showing the application of the strainerthereto. Figf is a vertical section through the strainer. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of the straining element or cloth.

The milk pail 1 herein shown may be of any approved w'ell knownconstruction, be-

rmg preferably provided with a w spout 2 2. The said member 4:

,Whose pouring terminal is exteriorly threaded-as `at 13.

The strainer comprises an exteriorly threaded member 4 which isremovably asso-` ciated with the portion 3 upon the spout y has itswalls struck up as at 5 to provide an outer annular shoulder. Astraining element 6 of circular configuration is removably seatedagainst the shoulder 5 of the member 4 and it is adapted to be securelyheld in place thereto by the retainer '7. This re t'ainer is of ringform and at 8 it is hinged to one side of the member 4. At the oppositeside the member a has its walls struck up to form a ,keeper 9 with whichthe latch 10 upon the retainer 7 is adapted to engage Gomes of thispatent may bo obtained for five cents each, by aaresing'the'`flmmissioner of Eatents, o

against the element 6 and to hold the same securely associated with thehereinbefore described shoulder 5. The strainer may be supplied with oneor any suitable number of the straining elements 6 and each element maybe of' a difl'erent straining quality. That is to say one of theelements may be of a fine mesh while the other is of a coarser mesh. Theconstruction of the strainer is such that 7 described as a retainer canbe quickly adjusted upon the member 4 and diseonnected from the element6 whereby the latter can be removed and sterilized and kept in ahighly'sanitary condition.

I ola-1m:-

A. milk pail provided with a spout having a threaded portidn, a memberthreaded to fit said portion and upset to provide an annular fiangewhich is adapted to rest against one end of the spout-when the member isin an applied position, a foraminous screening cloth removably fitted tothe shoulder, a ring lying 'substantially within the plane of theshoulder and hinged to said member, the said member being stampedl toprovide an outwardly extending keeper7 and a latch carried by the ringand provided with a spring portion removably engaging the said keeperand operable to. cause the said ring to exterorly bear against the saidforaminous screening member to secure the same against the saidshoulder.

In testimony whereof afiix my signature in presence of two `wilnesses.
